Description:
Here is one of Slovenian national dishes found in various forms in our coastal region. It's a kind of egg omeltte with herbs. It's a light juicy meal, perfect for the hot summer that is so typical in that area. It's easy to make and it's fast. Meat is not necessary to add, so it can also be a dish for vegetarians.
Other: Ingredients:
Time:
30 min
Difficulty:
Easy
Serving Size:
2 people
  1. 3 eggs
  2. flour
  3. milk
  4. salt

  5. a tuft of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis)
  6. a tuft of anise (Pimpinella anisum)
  7. a tuft of peppermint

  8. a little bit of Prosciutto or Panceta
Preparation:
  1. Prepare the herbs. Pull off the leaves from peppermint and Lemon balm and chop them. Chop the anise. If you have some you can also use the dried flower from it. Chop the meat in small pieces (cubes) - you can use prosciutto (i suggest Kraški pršut, from Karst, Slovenia that is generally less salty, less dry and with a gentler taste) or panceta (if you prefer a bit more fat).
Instructions:
  1. Scramble the eggs. Add some flour, milk and salt to make a kind of liquidy dough.
  2. Now add the herbs to the dough and gently mix it a bit.
  3. Heat up the oil in a frying pan and then pour the mixture when the oil gets hot. Fry it on both sides until it's done.
  4. Serve hot with some bread.

Gregor, I love eggs. I will give it a go, too. It sounds similar to a frittata, but that is put under a grill to set the top of the eggs.
